Different causes are ascribed for its strength, generally attributed to manipulations of in siders, though there are evidences of a squeeze of shorts, which is reported to bo very large, esiiecially in Philadelphia.

Futures closed weak. Manchester, April 13. The Guardian says: “The market is idle and tin* demand light all around. The weak point is continued slackness of the Eastern demand. This is atl ributed to the recent fall in exchange, but is bettor de scribed as the result of an over-supply of goods. The continuing weakness has made even sellers indifferent to further hardening in the specu lative department of the cotton market. Sri li ners are well supplied with raw material, and in view of the fact that the business of spinners aud manufacturers’ margins show no profits, the opinion is growing that, the cotton market will now be leit in the hands of speculative ope ration. There are some continental inquiries for yarns, but owing to the firmness of prices business is small. Cloth is inactive. The East ern demand is extremely slow. Producers of plain India fabrics are occasionally anxious for orders for May delivery* They have n large supply for June. There are a few inquiries for China goods. There is a moderate demand for favorite makes of printing cloth tor South America and other minor foreign outlets.” New York, April 13, noon.—Cotton opened dull; middling uplands middling Orleans 10 13- 16c; sales 211 bales. • Futures Market steady, with sales as follows: April delivery 10 04c, May 10 58c, June 10 64c, July 10 72c, August 10 77c.

From the Auguxta (On.) Chronicle. Now that the steamboat company has been successfully organized, it is sincerely bojied the officers will push the company along as rapidly as possible. Each day skipp'd is a day lost, and there, are numer ous reasons why there should lie n<i delay in inaugurating active operations. The quicker the rich river territory is opened up to our merchants, and the quicker they are enabled to have freights shipp'd from the North via our own steamship line, the better it will be for all concerned. With the system in good working order it will have a very salutary effect on the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission w ith regard to Augusta, and w ill also wield no little influence in the committee rooms of Congress when the appropriations are being dished out. Then, too, there is another reason why the steamers should heave anchor. It was rumored on the streets yesterday that the Central railroad proposed, or rather were considering the feasibility of starting a line in opposition, and to kill out the new enter prise by pi cans of cut rates and ocean steam ship discrimination. If they decide on such a step, the ad van! age, which is undoubted, will be secured of I snug first on the route, because they own considerable steamlioat property winch could lie transferred to the Savannah with but little trouble. But a few weeks are needed to capture the traffic, and in commerce also, possession is nine points of the luiw. Several people questioned about the matter are of the opinion that the Cen tral system will make a strong endeavor to destroy the new company. It is natural to suppjse they would, and it is certain that the plan is being now considered. There are but four competent pilots on the (Savannah, and all who apply for pilots’ licenses to the government examiners are put to a strict tost and made to show that they thoroughly know and understand every foot of the river. The four men at present licensed are all in the river service, and an old navigator said yesterday that the new company would find no tittle trouble in this i>artieular. It would be well for the authorities to investigate the matter. Another thing that comes under the head of river navigation is the wharf. It is not in the best possible condition, and should be thoroughly repaired. Sonr thing needl'd more than anything else, however, js ware house facilities, shelter, in fact, to protect freight from inclement weather. This on the part of the new enlerprise council should look after and see that they are thoroughly equipped on this end of the line. Turn on the stearn and let her go. BROKERS. ANDREW J.
